Yang Family Tai Chi

Yang Family is a wonderful source of Tai Chi information and instruction.

Here, for instance, is a screen shot from their journal showing in detail how to perform the Single Whip.

I highly recommend this resource for improving your form and understanding.

Security Improvements at the Mall

vinnie_mall

Recent additions to mall security include cameras and an audible alert system.

Also, and more relevant to morning exercisers, are the new green id's that security asks all participants to wear when visiting the mall before it opens in the morning.

The green id tags are free.  You can get one by providing your name and a contact arrangement for security alerts.  Just stop by to see walk coordinator kristen at Dillards Court any M, W, or F between 8 and 10 am.

Security asks that all participants wear these tags visibly so they'll be able to identify and deal with anyone who doesn't belong.

PLEASE HELP SECURITY BY WEARING YOUR GREEN TAG VISIBLY WHILE PARTICIPATING IN MORNING ACTIVITIES.

GIRL TREK

GIRL TREK recently joined us at Weberstown for a walk (and jumping jacks, squats, & lunges - bravo) around The Loop.  These folds like to walk outside, but plan to join us when they need an indoor alternative.  They also welcome one and all to join them for an outdoor experience.  Check out their page, or just show up for the Women's Day Walk on March 11 at Victory Park.

COVID!

vinnie_mall

Sorry to announce that co-ordinator Kristen has tested positive for covid as of today, Feb 6.

I'll stay away from the mall until I get that cleared up.   Not sure how long that will take.  Meanwhile, please be safe.

Probably a good idea to check yourself with a test if you were in close contact with me end of last week.

More Activities for Seniors?

vinnie_mall

Are you, or do you know, a senior looking for more activities or assistance?

Here's your chance to have your thoughts/interests considered by some senior-oriented nonprofits making plans for next summer.  The survey is being distributed/collected by Judy and Elaine, who are at Weberstown every morning.  You can pick up a blank from them at the mall, or download & print your own from the link below.

LINE DANCING RETURNS

Starting next week, August 2, we welcome Vivian's Line Dance back to Weberstown.
This great group of dancers will be meeting each Tuesday and Thursday, from 10-11, near Sears.
All exercisers must enter at Dillard's Court.  For everyone's security, please do not let anyone in at other doors.

Security Updates

vinnie_mall

Mall Security is there for us, for our security, and also, of course, for mall safety in general.  We need to cooperate with them to make their job easier and the mall safer for all.

PLEASE

Dillard's Door Only --
One door only opens a little before 8 am.  Please do not let anyone in any other door.  This is the only control Security has on who is in the mall, it protects us all.  (If this is a problem for anyone, please talk to Coordinator Kristen about special arrangements to meet your needs.)

See Something; Say Something --
If you see any unusual activity in the mall during exercise hours, please report it.  Our many eyes can help Security protect the mall and us from intruders who may be trying to steal.  You can reach Mall Security with your cell phone at: 209-477-8810.

 

The Weberstown Shuffle Continues

Making the Best Possible Use of the Space

Master Tam's Advanced Tai Chi

M, W, F in the Center Court, except when it's in use for holidays (think Santa & Easter Bunny) when his group will move to Penneys, and
Tu, Th at Dillards

Sifu Judy's Tai Chi

M-F at Dillards

Kristen's Line Dance

M, W, F at Penneys, as needed.  (Just stop and grab me when you enter at Dillards.)

All groups need to be aware that walkers are doing a 1/2 mile loop that extends into all corners of the mall, so leave them a little path please.

Hope this makes sense!
